[vani]

Manager: vani
Co-Manager: Fantos13
Team Name: Tenacious Tyranitars

Fantos and I will be returning as managers for Tyranitars. We managed last year and barely missed playoffs. I play all tiers actively and successfully, winning GSC seasonal and RoAPL recently, and also playing in other tours like UPL, UUSD, UUPL and NUSD. Fantos has experience in all tiers as well. We manage in RoA Olympics together atm and Fantos just managed BWPL and finished 2nd. We will provide a nice team environment again and win this tournament!

 

[RealJester]

Manager: RealJester
Comanager: Colteor
Team Name: Magnet Trainwrecks (Pichus retain pool preferred)
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I’m quite familiar with GSC OU, having made it to finals in this tour last year and playing it in ROAPL this year. I’ve also played a decent amount of Ubers, albeit casually. Colteor is very familiar with drafting strategies and the player pool in these side pls: he’s managed ADVPL, BWPL, and DPPPL, even making finals in the latter. We are both commited to putting 100% effort into this tour, both in draft planning and prep.

 

[cherryb0ng]

Manager: cherryb0ng
Comanager: giraffefromholland
Team Name: Wii Fit Wolverines
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:
As the previous host of this tour, I don't have dibs on any specific team but I'd be happy to be a manager in the GSC Premier League. I have participated in team tours involving all GSC tiers besides Ubers and I've been a part of this tour since its inception. I represented Canada in RoAlympics 2021 in GSC UU and won a gold medal, played GSC Ubers as well, and was a support member for GSC OU. Giraffefromholland and I were on the winning team in Pokemon Perfect League this year, where I built with/for him and I got a respectable 5-2 record in GSC OU. The victory and the positive environment was in great part due to Giraffe's insight on the players of all the pools. Though he didn't manage for the team, he was the one to give the managers all the guidance for drafting all the right players. I believe that my familiarity with all the tiers, my connection with the players and building support, as well as my partner's ability for scouting players that are not only widely known but also great while off the radar can give the team the consistency it needs to push through to playoffs.
Oh and Giraffefromholland managed in Mushi League 4 times and built for PK Leech in Callous Invitational.

 

[Iguana]

Manager: Iguana
Co-Manager: holly
Team Name: Magnificent Muks
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I managed in this tour during its first iteration and played in its second. In addition to this, I managed in RoAPL this year, am a GSC OU tutor on Smogon, was selected to play in this year's GSC Invitational, and have played GSC Ubers in UPL. I'd be honored to manage again for one of my favorite Smogon tours! holly is nothing short of a GSC lower tiers legend, having revolutionized and expanded resources for a variety of different tiers in the best Gen. She is formerly a forum mod of GSC, which also supports her experience and knowledge of GSC.

Team artwork on the way!

Edit: I am beyond excited to say that holly and I are joining forces again to bring back the Magnificent Muks! We were a manager team in the first iteration of this tour and would so appreciate an opportunity to return.
